Do you have a friend you love.  Here is a picture I took with my friend walking the other day.  It was such a beautiful day.  We have raised our kids together, we have struggled together, we laugh together. We talk out our frustrations with each other.  We share each others pain and joys.I consider this friendship one of the great blessings of m life.

Grandma Harding 100- Grandma Stratton 91 and the young ones!


MORE PHOTOS OF EASTER WEEKEND!  WHICH I LOVED.
This weekend was a great weekend.  It was Easter on April 20th this year and also the birthdays of our two youngest grandchildren.  They turned three and they are our angels.  Leighton and Tycee.  On Saturday we had our Stratton family annual Easter Egg Hunt at Moms home, We had the best Easter program in church Sunday morning and we celebrated birthdays and Easter Sunday evening at our home.  We celebrated Rebecca, Eliza, Leighton, and Tycee.  Lots of work, but well worth it for me.  I love my family and enjoy every chance I have to be with them.  Here are random pictures of the weekend.

Our sweet Hailey turned 7 last week.  This sweet little grandchild was born with Turner Syndrome.  That is where you drop one of your X Chromosomes at conception.  She had heart surgery when she was 4 days old.  She was a sick little baby and stayed at Primary Hospital for her first few weeks.  It was scary but what a delight she has been.  She has a joy that you cannot describe.  She is a tiny little squirt because of Turner's her body doesn't produce the normal grow hormone.  It is impossible not to love her, be uplifted by her laugh, and want to be around her.

Trip to Disneyland:  We spent the last week traveling to Disneyland.  It was so much fun.  It was really crowded, but we decided it was a good time to go.  Disneyland was open from 7 in the morning to midnight every day.  Fast Pass worked really good.  We were with Jason's family.  It was fun to be with some of our cute grandkids.  Here are a few pictures.
